Do i have to be using a special type of Widget to locate the text field? Right now I am using the Dynamic Widget, i dont see an input field in the options (when i click on the static link). Also I am using this in the Banner Header location. Does this have an effect on what the widget displays? If there was a template that i could use like the front page (with the header already there)I life would be soo much easier. Im sure this is a really easy fix, but I am not understanding. I looked on line and found a whole new widget that is specifically for headers but it will not work on my site. 🙁

The best part is that the text widget is part of WordPress and is found where your widgets are. As for Dynamic Widgets, this is a plugin that lets you publish widgets to select pages in your site, but isn’t technically a widget itself.

No worries… just use a text widget with the <img …source code and the link to your image. When you upload your image with the media library, click on edit for it and in the upper right box is the correct link to use which links to the actual image. Then to make sure the widget is shown on the page you want (for any images), use the Dynamic Widgets plugin to do that which this tutorial helps https://www.styledthemes.com/encounters-theme-setup/55-how-to-publish-widgets-to-select-pages

This is what I was trying to do too. Maybe step by step will help you Tanja.
I also found what may be a bug, ST (below).

To add different banner images at the top of each page –

– Download and install the Dynamic Widgets plugin
– Make a note / copy of the path to your first banner image
– Click on ‘appearance’ then ‘widgets’
– On the right hand side, open the ‘Banner Header’ area
– Drag the ‘text’ widget to the ‘Banner Header’ area. It will stick there.
– Enter this code and paste in / replace the path to your banner image (into the text widget area you just dragged across)

(replace with your own path to your image)

To have it showing on the page you wish –

– In your new text widget, click at the foot of it’s screen at ‘static’ or ‘dynamic’.
– Open ‘Pages’
– Check the page you would like it to show on

Repeat steps to add more banner images.

BUG – In the end this worked for me (showed different banner images on each of my pages).

However, as I have a gallery, and could not tick on Dynamic Widgets to not show my image on the large image page of the gallery, I had on my individual large image pages 2 banners showing.

I couldn’t find a way around it so am still stuck with just one banner image showing on all pages.

Not quite sure how you got the two image banners on the same page, which I am guessing your post single view (full post)…however, in the Dynamic Widgets plugin, when you click on “Static or Dynamic” in the widget, it opens the dynamic widgets page to assign the widget to select locations. At the very top is this:

Set all options to ‘No’ (Except overriding options like Role, Date, etc.)

Click on “Set all options to No” and then select the pages or other locations to show the widget. This is assures the widget will first be disabled from being seen “everywhere” but gives you the option of then choosing what and where to show it.
